Pope Benedict has fractured his wrist

h/t to Pelerin for alerting me to this. She'd heard about it on French news. The Vatican says it happened when he fell in his room last night. He went to the local hospital this morning after offering Mass and having breakfast. It is not a serious fracture, according to the report and he is expected to return to the chalet at Les Combes later today.

Got quite a fright when I heard this last night. Although I must say that, fracture apart, he looks very well.

I've sent an email to your probenoit16 address.

Hello Fiona! Welcome back. Been thinking I ought to email you!

Yes he does look well in spite of the recent fall. Thank God.
